Peanuts was a very popular comic strip made in 1950 by Charles M. Schulz. It was one of the most famous comic strips of all time. The main characters are Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus van Pelt, and Lucy van Pelt. Charlie Brown (the main character) is a shy, lovable loser who fails in almost everything he does. Snoopy is Charlie Brown's pet beagle and probably his best friend. Sometimes Snoopy sees himself as a real person instead of a dog. Linus van Pelt is one of Charlie Brown's best friends. Linus is very smart and often thinks about why things happen in the world. He will never let go of his blanket, which he always carries around with him.
